kohya-trainer VS sd-webui-additional-networks

This longer colab notebook: I did use this one (or one of the slight derivatives of it) and got out a safetensors file, but the lora didn't work at all--I'd use it a increase it's weight but I just would see no effect

It isn't what you are asking for (sry) but I struggled with this thing for way too long until I found out about the Kohya Trainer. https://github.com/Linaqruf/kohya-trainer So much easier with a lot of videos by the various YT folks. Standalone WebUI that just works. Life is good here!

It's seem that he is stable diffusion model creators. In that space, it's less knowing about the code and more experimenting on what would happen in the training. The stable diffusion community has repertoire of fine-tuning tools that is accessible for someone who have no single idea on the code behind it, no different than using application like kohya.

Have you tried out one of the colabs from https://github.com/Linaqruf/kohya-trainer ? The colabs themselves are pretty long, but you just have to read each step and then usually push the button to run that cell, then move on to the next one.

There are a lot of variables that affect what kind of settings to use, but afaik the best solution to finding the right step count for what your training is still just to save multiple epochs and then run a x/y/z plot comparison. If you can't do that locally because of your 4gb card, you could try using Lora colabs that include inference capabilities.

You seem to be a little confused. You wont find an ipynb of a model. You would reference a model via a content portal like hugginface. If your model is hosted there, you dont have to download it to your computer or gdrive first. You just reference it with the hugginface-style reference, ie runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5. Some colabs will let you also reference a URL to pull down the model. Example. https://github.com/Linaqruf/kohya-trainer/blob/main/kohya-LoRA-dreambooth.ipynb. In that case, you can get the direct url to a checkpoint, for example at civit.ai. If you're decent at messing around with code, you can deconstruct that code block to use in a different colab. As for gdrive, it's only a couple dollars to get 100G.

Try this colab to train Lora, it can generate image without the UI too

In the input field labeled "URL for extension's git repository," paste the following link: https://github.com/kohya-ss/sd-webui-additional-networks.git

Yes, this one: https://github.com/kohya-ss/sd-webui-additional-networks

Seems that calling Loras from the prompt is bugged right now. Install "Additional Networks" (https://github.com/kohya-ss/sd-webui-additional-networks) and use them from the GUI, without mentioning it in the prompt at all:

Use the additional networks extension Download your lora and place it into "stable-diffusion-webui\extensions\sd-webui-additional-networks\models\lora". Now you can select the lora in the additonal networks tab in your web ui and set a weight. Afterwards you can just generate your image.

sd-webui-additional-networks: wouldn't be necessary, but it has more functions than the basic web-ui integration.

📷 If you are getting the error "failed to match keys when loading Lora" it means you are either on the native Lora integration of Automatic1111 which may not support LoCon, please install the https://github.com/kohya-ss/sd-webui-additional-networks extension to solve the issue.

if you use civitai, you can use this extension, if you have this Lora extension, you can edit the meta data and load it from there.

I have both https://github.com/kohya-ss/sd-webui-additional-networks and https://github.com/KohakuBlueleaf/a1111-sd-webui-lycoris because i was told these are the ones i needed for LyCORIS to work. IT did for a while but since recently it has stopped working altogether.

This does not require the use of the Latent Couple(Two-Shot) extension. This requires the Additional Networks Extension, which may already be in your Stable Diffusion install or can be installed from https://github.com/kohya-ss/sd-webui-additional-networks through the extensions tab as shown below.
